![]() But that’s what I like about Voigt: she doesn’t shy away from big feelings and hard topics and delivers impressive deep books that kids and adults alike can appreciate. ![]() Especially as a mother myself, it was hard to see him feel so discarded and question his own self-worth. ![]() ![]() It’s been a while since there was a fictional character I so thoroughly wanted to shake. She does a number on him and then does it over and over AND OVER again. I challenge you to try to read about Jeff’s manipulative, selfish, narcissistic mother without clenching your jaw. The split in this book was about 80% Jeff and 20% the Tillerman family but because we already know the Tillerman’s so well, their inclusion is seamless.Īs for Jeff, he has earned his loner status fair and square, with a father who struggles to find his way and a mother who is the textbook definition of “piece of work” he does all he cans to make no waves. It was a really interesting take on the series, to focus on Jeff (who we just met in the second book, and has so far been of periphery interest to Dicey the main character) and make him the protagonist. This book takes us back in time in Jeff’s story, and we learn how he and his father came to live in Crisfield. So far, Jeff is a boy at school, who plays guitar and sings and has begrudgingly caught Dicey’s eye. ![]() ![]() Stories like this cannot really exist outside of fiction due to the impact slavery and wars had on each generation knowing its roots. It starts of with the stories of Effia and Esi and then follows their children’s stories, and their children’s children’s stories until seven generations have passed. The premise of the novel is simple: the lives and lineages of 2 half-sisters who never meet, but are intrinsically linked through the slave trade from Ghana to the U.S. Yaa Gyasi came to Kaufleuten to talk about her debut novel Homegoing, which has become an international success for very good reasons. ![]() The Kaufleuten has literary nights throughout the year that cater to German, French, and English speaking audiences. This is why the Kaufleuten in Zurich means so much to me. ![]() This means I forget English words all the time (just ask any of my friends back home when I throw in words like Staubsauger and öffentliches Verkehr in our Skype and Whatsapp calls). ![]() For me, living in Switzerland means that German is a regular part of my day-to-day life. Anyone who lives abroad knows how hard it can be to engage with literature from your mother tongue. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Her required wardrobe included twelve-foot-wide hoopskirts and organ-crushing whalebone corsets. When the fourteen-year-old Austrian arch-duchess first arrived at the Palace of Versailles to become dauphine, rigid tradition governed what she wore, when she wore it, even who put it on her person. Caroline Weber tells the story of Marie Antoinette's Revolution in Dress, which helped make, and unmake, her reputation, and examines her wardrobe's impact on French history. Marie Antoinette was a woman who used clothing to command attention. ![]() She lives with her husband in New York City. A specialist of eighteenth-century French literature, culture, and history, she has also taught at the University of Pennsylvania and Yale University. Caroline Weber is associate professor of French at Barnard College, Columbia University. With her riding gear, her white furs, her pouf hairstyles, and her intricate ballroom disguises, Marie Antoinette came to embody-gloriously and tragically-all the extravagance of the monarchy. In Queen of Fashion, Caroline Weber tells of the radical restyling that transformed the young queen into an icon and shaped the future of the nation. For a short while, the young girl played the part.īut by the time she took the throne, everything had changed. ![]() When her carriage first crossed over from her native Austria into France, fourteen-year-old Marie Antoinette was taken out, stripped naked before an entourage, and dressed in French attire to please the court of her new king.

The large hardcover book – suitable to be a coffee table book – covers a great deal of Dorman’s calling but is also a nice overview in how many geeks and fans of so many franchises have been touched by this man’s talent and genius over the years. ![]() Being a huge fan of Dave Dorman‘s artwork over the years, I jumped at the chance to take a look at and review the new art anthology book on his work and career, entitled Rolling Thunder. ![]() ![]() ![]() She just wants to save enough money to escape Hope City.

Affection for and sober views of his subject impart a geniality and balance to his account of the development of the Portuguese nation, and his book itself answers the need for a good general history for lay readers.
